Book Reviews of Bowling 200+
Book Review: it was a great book i loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
this book is a great guide to better bowlingBook Review: Great Overview
Summary: 4 Stars
The objective of this book is to give the above average bowler (150 - 190 avg) general tips on how to improve their game. This isn't a book that's going to try to tell you where you should stand to make every shot. If you're average is in that range you already know the basics and probably have a pretty good idea on how to bowl - you're just making little mistakes and the objective of this book is to give examples of the most common mistakes good bowlers make and what you should try to do to rectify the situation.
The authors do a very good job at achieving that goal. The other major pluses are that one of the authors is a lefty - so southpaws aren't ignored. In addition the authors do a good job at presenting opposing arguments when a particular tip is subjective to certain play styles (they explain that bowling is a game of consistency and that you shouldn't necessarily get hung up at doing some things the "right way" if the opposite is working well for you.
They do however draw a line in the sand on a few fundamentals and explain well why you shouldn't deviate if you're serious about becoming a better bowler.
After reading this I find myself to be a much more thoughtful bowler and a couple of the tips are really helping my play (In particular the very simple but effective tip that when you're uncertain about the lane conditions you're better off ditching the hook and throwing hard and straight when trying to pick up that tricky spare.)
Enjoy.
Book Review: read,think through and perform
Summary: 4 Stars
From my perspective, I found the book very good. I am around 140, I have been bowling for around 5 months, the book contains a lot of useful information. From techniques,releases and the mental game, the book covers a lot of ground. Slightly out of date in regards to the equipment, but otherwise you could do yourself a favour if you are a bowler anywhere between 100 - 190 put it on your bedside table. The principles behind this sport have not changed, and with that I would strongly recommend this book. One main criticism is that there aren't very many pictures in relation to hand release, and the book is in black and white only. Overall, worth getting. If you only learn or understand one point or exercise from this book, it will be money well spent.Book Review: Your Friend - The Coach
Summary: 4 Stars
Whenever you are bowling with poor results and cannot figure out the problem, just take this book out of your bowling bag and read "Analyzing Your Flaws" or the chapter on lane conditions. It feels like you're carrying around your bowling guardian angel when in competition. And when you leave the 10 pin, the book says you DO adjust. How you adjust depends on what kind of 10 pin you left: ringing, flat, etc. I LOVE this book.Book Review: Movin' On Up
Summary: 4 Stars
My son's scores have been movin' on up. He is having more 200 games and is even a USBC 11 strikes in a row winner. (279 game) Really something to be proud of. I think others will learn some tips too. I think you'll be happy to "spare" some dough for this book.
